Enhancing scenes with sound design and effects
and sound effects to really beef up that audio track.
What other sound effects can I bring in that I don't already have in my clip to add more of an environment and an atmosphere to that overall clip, and eventually to the entire film?
There are multiple ways to access sound effects like this.
First, you can actually create your own sound effects using your own audio recorder, you can use your phone to do this, you can use a Tascam or an audio recorder.
To source copyright-free music online, Adobe Stock has a great library to choose from, which can be sorted by Moods, Genres, and then automatically saved to your Adobe library to easily access in your project.
Here I am, simply going through different scenes where I didn't record the best audio, or I feel like the audio isn't as powerful as I want it to be.
Like this shot of the birds flying overhead.
I didn't really get a good sound of those birds.
So, let's add in a sound effect like a flock of seagulls or birds flying and see how that elevates that specific clip.
Or these shots in the park.
Without some sound effects behind the shots the environment just sounds kind of quiet.
So, let's change that.
Let's bring in some ambiance or park ambiance, birds calling, or people talking.
This is where I sort of just guess and I try to put in the best prompt into these sites to give me the best results.
And I will download a bunch of different sound effects to build that library out and then use them for further projects.
All of these stacked additions of our sound effects help to really build that environment and make the story feel like we as the viewer are actually there, even though we never recorded that sound.
This right here is pure movie magic, people.
Let's move on to the next section.
